Good morning all
Sad days are ahead for me. My almost 14 year old German Shepherd female, had only what I can guess was a major stroke yesterday. She has lost a lot of her sight, and almost the total use of her hind end. I think her kidneys are starting to shut down too, although once I got her outside this morning, she pooed, I may have missed the peeing. I have to use a makeshift sling to get her out the door, but her dignity won't let her potty with that on her. She doesn't seem to be in pain, and is resting now on a huge pallet of blankets in the living room by the front door. I'm afraid the end is near. She's been my best girl for a long time, and it's going to hit hard when she passes on. Will call the vet today to see if he can give me anything to bring on the end if it comes to that. Used to be they could, but these days may be a different story. The vet is almost 40 miles from me, and there is no way I can take her in to them. She is still eating and drinking, and just gave me a look to make sure I'm still here and she's not missing anything. It's going to be a sad few days, I think...
Cute duckies Vicki! Love that color. Brown/chocolate Cuckoos??? Man, another color for the Marans folks to worry over.
Good thing I'm not into Cuckoos.
Still miserabley hot here today. Rain showers may be coming in tomorrow!
We desperately need some rain!
Randy ~ Tree rats??
My friend was just talking about squirrel dumplings yesterday. She ate a lot of them as a kid. I've only eaten squirrel once. Not bad, but if I had my drothers, I'd prefer rabbit. Or woodchuck...who I still can't catch! Luckily, he is eating the weeds down around the chicken run. If that's all he wants here, and won't undermine my wellhouse again, then he can stay. They seem to LOVE cocklebur plants!
Those are squirrels! jk well maybe not...... I'm from LA and the tree rats are nothing compared to the nutria! Those things are awful!!!!
